Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Xin Sun. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Sun Lab studies the fundamental mechanisms of tissue formation, maintenance, function/dysfunction, and regeneration/degeneration. They employ cutting-edge genome editing, single cell transcriptomic epigenomics, and whole-tissue clearing advanced imaging approaches to delineate robust programs that dictate normal biology and uncover imperfections that initiate pathogenesis. The center of their investigation is the lung, an organ vital for survival and breath, focusing on fetal, pediatric, and adult diseases with the aim of explanation and cure. The lab utilizes disease modeling as a starting point to make basic science discoveries in developmental biology, stem cell biology, and lung-immune-neural circuit interactions.
